If you could change one thing about your body, what would it be?Author's Opinion: 🤓 "I'm definitely *not* as confident with my body as I would like but I am going to start doubling up on my workouts and being more strict with my vegetarian diet to meet my fitness goals.
School's finally out for those who asked! I'm officially on summer break. Bikinis all summer long"👙
I'm really skinny so probably gain weight. I had a job part-time, it was Amazon and I dropped like ten pounds in a month. I was desperately trying to keep that weight by eating a lot and I still lost it.
I quit Amazon just because I lost weight lol I can't afford it. Now I'm trying to gain weight and it's hard. I have to eat more than the average person to achieve it and I have high cholesterol I think it's genetics so I can't really eat whatever I want sadly.
I gained my weight in the past by dirty bulking. It took be two years to gain 20 pounds. Not sure if that's like good lol. I did a vegetarian diet for almost two months recently but that was for lent. I would say start off slow.
Don't go cold turkey on meat right away. First incorporate 1 day a week, then two then three then four and just increase. If you start feeling sick and dizzy, you aren't eating enough calories you need to eat filling food like peanut butter, avocado anything that'll fill you up.
Make high calorie dense meals and make sure you are getting proper nutrition in there so you aren't malnourished. Vegetarians lack in protein so nuts and beans are important.
Foods I discovered coconut rice, vegetarian lasagna with four different cheeses, I blended the vegetables into a paste with low fat cottage cheese. One slice of it was 900 calories. Coconut rice is way more calories too. But it's only more calories if you use coconut milk. If you use coconut oil it cuts the rice calories in half.
Eggs, I hate eggs but if you like them anything with eggs. I would eat steel cut oats, they're super healthy and more calories 1/4 cup is 160. Hard to cook they're not like oatmeal definitely find a recipe for it.
Making homemade veggie burgers. I found a recipe but never tried it, it was grounded up beans, oatmeal and pasta sauce. I don't remember if there was like spices or any kind of flavors added. I got the idea from YouTube. I lived on Amy's burritos she has some good selections lol but they're expensive. Anyway, good luck lol.
Oh low calories protein shakes are good too. Make sure you check out the ingredients though like anything with artificial or natural flavors are bad for you.

I'm a transgender woman who lives 2 lives, in neither am I particularly comfortable with my body.
The life I live by day I am an upper management type, and while I am treated as another one of the girls in every respect, it doesn't eliminate my dysphoria and I'm constantly aware that my look isn't as on point as it could be.
By night I am a Pro Domme, a respected member of a respected local House who acts in club functions as the right hand of the Lady of the House. My dress and makeup takes no less than 45 min, is many times handled by someone else, and inspected to be on point by the Lady of my House, and I know she expects perfection so I know I look good. I'm completely confident in my body because I know I'm on point and I know the image I project.
Everything in life is circumstantial.

Thank you soooo much for sharing your story. I know that's not an easy thing to do.
Just remember to embrace your beauty and be unapologetically you. You're perfect just the way you are.
I appreciate that! I think the primary source of my lack of confidence in my image in one area is the source of my image confidence in the other... Years of being berated over minute mistakes in both my Ladys appearance (outfits laid out, makeup, etc) and my own before I had my girls has made me hyperaware of details... Not good when my makeup SOP for work included driving 80mph and getting there before dawn.
If I could change one thing about my body it would be my metabolism lol. I go to the gym every morning before PT (active duty) but it’s hard to maintain the muscle mass I gain because my body burns calories WAY too fast. And before I get the whole “yOu GoTtA eAt MoRe” lecture, I eat way more than my stomach can handle and I don’t gain weight. I can slam down a large pizza by myself in an hour maybe hour and a half and I will not gain any weight. That’s how high my metabolism is. So yeah, I’d change that lol

Oh wow! I miss pt with my unit. I am a Marine Corps veteran. Medically retired due to injury.
If I could get down to 180lbs -200 lbs I would be happy but we all got to eat I need to invest in doing some exercises inside the house or simply take a walk on a flat surface where I wouldn't end up falling since I got poor balance and take my time I live in an area where that might work out. Lol
I am now slowly learning to be. I've lost 45kgs (110 pounds) of weight the kast 2 years. I also went to therapy for 2.5 years straight. I started experimenting with clothes, fashion and makeup in ways I actually wanted to and learned to like and have confidence in myself. I do have many insecurities of my own still, but I'm learning to overcome them.
No, I am not, I hate everything about myself except for my long hair and my voice. Other than that, I'd change everything. Get rid of the freckles. Not be so pale. To be skinnier. To be taller. Just absolutely everything. Everything.
i try my best to be confident but I don't know. people compliment me but i feel like i have to believe it or else doesn’t matter. i have to be happy with myself first. if i could change one thing it would be to make my boobs a smaller size just to feel comfortable.
well I put on roughly 20lbs during the lockdowns but my doctor says I'm still within a healthy weight for my height and age. though I should be able to slowly lose what I put on now that I'm working full-time again. since I typically either walk or bike back and forth to work when weathers nice. it's roughly 5 miles round trip so I'll typically get 10k to 15k or more steps in a work day.
Absolutely not. There are lots of things that I would love to change about my body but after trying multiple workouts and followed a very strict diet. I notice only a minor changes which then led me to accept my body the way it is and love everything about it.. I feel like my body loves me eventhough I don't love it enough. As I grow older I began to love it more and become confident in myself

I know exactly how you feel. Very relatable.
This was amazing feedback. Thank you for taking the time to explain your answer. I appreciate it.
I'm not really confident. I have crooked teeth, large shoulders, huge calves, no butt, weird looking boobs and terrible acne, a large mons pubis or whatever it's called. The only thing I really like about myself if my hair and eyes. If I could change one thing about myself, I would either fix my teeth, or give myself more of a womanly boxy shape than a gym bro triangle type body. 😅
I’m not so confident but 2 things happened recently that made me realize maybe I should be more confident
A girl I like recently held my hands and stuff and even more recently another girl seems to really like me… So I have some more confidence now but of course still doubt myself
I'm definitely not confident in my body at all, but I do have some features of myself that I find nice. For example, my eyes hazel and look green when you flash bright light into them with a camera.

I wish I had your eye color! They sound so beautiful 💚 Mine are so boring and brown.
No I'm not confident and it's not for the reason most would think... so I'm 5 foot 9 which I'm happy with...90lbs I'm not happy nor unhappy about this... but the part I am extremely unhappy with is I have a lazy eye... a bad one like extremely noticeable to me. It's the main thing I see as a huge flaw. Other then that I can't see much with my body I'm displeased with..
Yes, i'd rather have this body than any other as it is truly one of a kind. Sorta= it's a good body, but just gonna alter it juuuust a little bit to be more healthy and happier.
Nooo neveewr you know i starve my self... to get flat belllyy... like they show on insta socia meda i want to go gym cause my boyfriend go and he has also good body i ask him do. u like my body.. he alwaays said that i love you that's mean i love your every part nd soul but i don't like my body i hate my self alooottt
I definitely need to reduce the fat that has built up due to not being able to work out as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. The problem I have is that they're still there for me, so I can't do what I want to do.
I hate my short hairs, I'm trying to grow them. My belly is full of fat, also my figure is very ugly but I've been trying to change it and seeing good results so far. We can make it! 😎👍

I would like to change a few things like laser hair removal as I could pass as a werewolf 🤪🤣 And breast reduction as it is very inconvenient. But I don't really care what people think, I got out of my own head long time ago
I would change nothing on my body. I love my body and I'm not ashamed to show it off😛😛
In my early teens I could not believe now how much I was so shy about my body.
I'm Glad to have the positivity and self esteem in myself today.

Im comfortable with my body the problem is societal trends that fuck with peoples confidence. You can be at home and feel good about yourself but once you leave home you’ll start to feel self conscious because people are judgmental.
ya, that is what I am thinking, but at least it is a plan, not a very good plan, but a plan non the less. I guess it is eat less move more. It will be just my luck I will lose weight and wake up taller.
